...does it have to be line of sight? Thanks in advance

Line of sight definately helps. You can set it up horizontal or vertical and get a little wiggle room with the signal. I've set up one at 3\4 of a mile and some trees and it gets 90% signal strength. The other is about 500 yards and gets 99% and it goes through a building external wall too.

Assuming you have good bandwidth at the base, there would be no problem using the system for such an application. At that range you need to have line of sight ok.... (no obstructions)

Depends on your "line of sight". 20-30 feet with an unobstructed line of sight. If you go into a different room or there are obstructions the distance is reduced.

You need to get RF universal remote which don't require direct line of sight. Logitech ones are great.

Maybe a foot across diagonally. Range? It will fly beyond your ability to see it. That's when things get dicey!

Non line of sight range is harder to predict and can be much less than line of sight with concrete and metal being the most difficult to penetrate. I have my receiver in the front foyer of my house. The transmitter is at the end of my driveway and while there are a few small shrubs and a tree in between, it works well. It has surprised me and worked even when blocked by snow mounds.

It is best if the sensor is placed where nothing will break the line-of-sight between the sensor and the receiver, like a car, metal building, etc. The unit will sometimes NOT WORK AT ALL if placed where anything metal, especially things affected by a magnet, can break the line-of-sight between the sensor and receiver, but if the sensor is placed really close to the receiver, sometimes it works OK. I would not chance it to work if the vehicle was passing between the sensor and receiver. Hope this helps.

We use ours installed in a box. There is no line of sight. (we can't even see it up inside the box of electronics) It works great for us like that, but we are using it from probably less than 5 ft. away.

My only success has been line of sight. I doubt it will penetrate a solid structure or anything that might obstruct the passage of sound.

Make sure you have a really good line of sight between the projector and the sending unit. it works great for me.

Yes... Line of sight actually is not required. This is a radio signal that will defract and bounce. It will attenuate some with dense materials, but mainly the low power will limit distance. Mine works over 35 yards or so.

Line of sight. Please beware of the "keyboard" on the remote: it will not last long if it's in you pocket -- due to its ridiculously thin design (keys & change rubbing against the keyboard will rapidly kill key input). Extremely bad design. GE should be ashamed.

You will need 2 of them, and a direct line of sight. They are very easy to install however. Just go on YouTube an they have tutorials

Works fine for me with direct line of sight. I have the receiver plugged into the front of my computer, so I can't speak to other setups.

Thanks for your question. Line of sight with Roku is not necessary for the remote to work. If you have an infrared (IR) light remote, the light emitted from the remote bounces off the ceiling or the wall behind the television and then hits Roku's sensor. By the way, if your TV is located in a room with a two-story high ceiling, you will need to get a Roku 2 or Roku 3 for the remote to work.

OK, had to actually test it. Works fine. Tried about 15-20 feet away, but since it was line of sight, I also checked it from an adjoining room. Passed with flying colors. 15 feet away on a couch should be fine.

Answer here...I would tell you to try a small out of the way spot first, but i can't imagine why you would have any issue
